If you’re just below the $150k limit (whatever that provision means) you’d get less than a 1% savings on your tax bill. And if you already earn less than $30k annually you probably weren’t paying taxes anyway. Not to mention cash tips are pretty much “under the table”.

Not incomprehensible at all. They want to fuck shit up so private equity can swoop in and buy up our broken society for pennies on the dollar.

It’s okay. Maybe more disappointing than outlook in some ways. It has a weird hybrid approach where it’s almost like a browser in some ways but I’m not seeing how that adds to the experience.

You only threaten those you’re afraid of.

In a fantasy world I’d go even further to say if you amass $1 billion in wealth you have it all taken away. So either you consistently give away your wealth to keep it below that level or pray that you helped build a society where losing it all isn’t a death sentence.

In this thread alone I saw someone try to justify it by saying it’s an important medical supply. Something like arsenic or cyanide might do a better job of killing people but then why would people start dropping like flies? Painkillers are a hot commodity around the world so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was meant to be smuggled in and the wrong people discovered it. Given everything Israel has done so far it seems more likely they’re trying to sew chaos rather than an enterprising dealer trying to tap a forgotten customer base.

With everything he does the issue is the implementation. Deport criminal aliens? I’m all for it, but most of the deportees have no criminal record or they accuse them of crimes as if it’s the same thing as a conviction.

Part of Trump’s grand plan is to make federal elections span only a single day. So maybe you check your status the day before and everything is fine, but the day of voting a glitch in the system says it can’t verify your citizenship. That’s it! No votes for you this year!

They wouldn’t so callously hurt this many people if they thought elections would change anything.

Gaia hits back.

Not Medicaid or Latinos. 👆

Uncle Sam not providing the bootstraps for underserved youth anymore.

We’re so ass backwards my go-to thought was the censored version.

They shipped out Kilmar Abrego Garcia for something a cop said in 2019 based on an unidentified informant and they make up new lies about him all the time. They’re absolutely not above lying that someone falsified information on their naturalization papers.

If you do work out a deal make sure it’s the “Obama rate” and explicitly call it that.

It’s good at giving a new perspective or helping mental blocks.

“You’re firing me for using AI to read and respond to your email?”

Same at my company. The frustrating part is they want us to use coding assistance, which is fine, but I really don’t code that much. I spend most of my time talking to other teams and vendors, reading docs, filing tickets, and trying to assign tasks to Jr devs. For AI to help me with that I need to either type all of my thoughts into the LLM which isn’t efficient at all or I need it to integrate with systems I’m not allowed to integrate with because there are SLOs that need to be maintained (i.e. can’t hammer the API and make others experience worse).

So it’s pretty much the same as it’s always been. Instead of making a gallon of lemonade out of one lemon I need to use this “new lemonade machine” to start a multinational lemonade business.

Deporting a US Citizen for saying things the Congressman doesn’t like. Remind me when was American this “great”?

‘Alligator Auchwitz’ needs to catch on.

Someone in this admin will try to say, “Both of your parents were born here… but their parents were here illegally so none of your citizenship counts.”
